Research direction

Start by reproducing the label visibility problem with the window focused and unfocused under a dark theme, then locate the code responsible for the file-name filters. Done means labels remain readable against their backgrounds and files with an uppercase .HDF5 extension are accepted.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

To save words, that's whet I see when the window is out of focus:

When it is focused, all the labels are white regardless of the background. The app is impossible to use.

BTW, many files I get have .HDF5 (all caps) name extension. Please update the file name filters.
